Tutorial: Fold and Turn Coasters

Image
These fold-and-turn coasters are SO easy and fun to make!  I first saw this pattern in 2002 at a guild meeting, and the instructions were handwritten.  There were no pictures … only hand drawings.  Well, we’ve come a long way in 8 years! I made this set of 4 coasters to include with the potholders I made for Amy’s Potholder Pass #2 . These coasters were made with five 5-inch cotton squares and one 5-inch flannel square.  These can also be made in other sizes so long as the squares are equal-size.  Suggested square sizes range from 4-1/2” to 6” … your choice.  You may also use one 5-inch batting square, but I found batting was a tad too thick.  But, again, your choice. Instructions: (1) Y ou will choose three different fabrics.  Two fabrics will be used for the top of the coaster and one will be used for the bottom (backing).  I chose the light blue for the bottom: (2) Cut fabric to the desired square size.  I used 5” squares. (3) Lay flannel (or batting) s

Weekly Finish ... Or Not: Stash Buster Plus 2 More Quilt Tops

Image
I've been busy finishing some quilt tops.  I should probably spend more time quilting the tops that are accumulating instead of making more LOL!   This is my first quilt top for the  2022 Stash Buster Challenge by Border Creek Station using the Jericho Walls block.  The challenge is to make 52 blocks (1 block a week) by the end of the year to be entered into a drawing. I started this top a couple weeks ago with the intention of just making the18 blocks to catch up.  A week later, I ended up with 32 blocks and this top.  It is a fast and easy block to make and so much fun!  I still need another 20 blocks if I want to qualify for the drawing. This top was made from leftover Stack 'n' Whack blocks I made in 2004.  I made two wall hangings with this same fabric to give as gifts.  The black and red triangles were also leftover with the blocks.  Three of the 5 blocks don't match but I'm keeping this one so that's okay.  I also found the poinsettia border in my stash

Weekly Finish #33: Jericho Walls Stash Buster Quilt

Image
  Scrappy Stash Buster Challenge Finished Size: 76" x 90" I made this quilt for the  2022 Stash Buster Challenge  by Border Creek Station using the Jericho Walls block and   posted  about the quilt top  back in May when I finished it. I used some really old and "ugly" fabrics from my stash and had a fun time putting the blocks together. There are 32 blocks, and each block measures 10" finished. The quilting design is Trailing Leaves, an E2E design from the Pro-Stitcher Lite Design Catalog, and the batting is Warm & Natural. I used some charm packs for the piano border and each strip measured 2½" x 5" unfinished.  The inner border and binding are the same red fabric. I used a new full-size sheet I bought at a thrift store.  I don't really like it but I didn't want to use any of my fabric stash to piece the backing and I certainly didn't want to buy any more fabric.   And a label completes the quilt. I am really happy with the results.
